More frameworks.
The efficacy of the platform itself is inversely proportional to the number of available frameworks.
Increased bandwidth (and clearer ways of thinking) will make the whole "stack" obsolete.
"Web development" is another name for thin, dumb clients.
Been there, done that. 80's technology.

That sounds like a good thing ... since the only other thing mentioned in the article was JavaScript; and not a single framework.

That's what I like to hear!
"Everyone" .... "WordPress", etc.
It's saturated; everybody is a "web developer".
No one knows how to make a "thick" client.
I'm making a killing in the desktop market because it's "empty" of competition.
(I forgot to add: "everyone" is also a blogger; who needs a WordPress site; etc... for $20)

From new web-design trends I would name display: grid which is yet more powerful than display: flex as it allows to build 2D fluid layouts. Regarding more uprising js frameworks I would rather advise to ignore them. Keeping up with all of these is futile.
I wonder tho what does this thread in .NET section.

Hi,
Im using SharePoint 2007 and VB.Net. I need to convert a web page in the Moss 2007 server to word document. I got to know Interop.COM and Interop.CDO DLL's can be used for this purpose. Can someone pls guide me on how to do it or for a sample implementation ?
And if you've got better approaches in doing this pls let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I have written a fully-working app in VB6 and am almost done updating it to vb.net but I am finding it very hard to achieve a couple of tasks. The main one is to simply recolour an image. Currently the image is black stars on a white background (it's a star chart!) but I need to recolour it for users so that it does not ruin their night vision. Thus I need the image to be re-coloured to red stars on a black background. In VB6 this takes literally a couple of lines of code but I don't know how to do it in vb.net - at which I am very much a beginner!

Perhaps if you show the code you use in VB6 someone could make a suggestion. Also, this question would probably get a quicker response in the VB forum below.

Hi, and thanks for the advice. This is the VB6 code:
With frmEntryscreen.Picture3
.DrawMode = vbInvert 'or vbXorPen will work
frmEntryscreen.Picture3.Line (0, 0)-(.ScaleWidth, .ScaleHeight), vbWhite, BF
frmEntryscreen.Picture3.DrawMode = vbMaskPen
frmEntryscreen.Picture3.Line (0, 0)-(.ScaleWidth, .ScaleHeight), vbRed, BF
End With
(picture3 is, of course, the chart which is 'black stars on a white BG'). I didn't post this question under 'earlier' VB since that's not what the problem is - didn't want to complicate matters! I also tried the MS site as suggested by someone else but everything there only seemed to apply to recolouring the entire image as a whole, which isn't what I need to do. I envisage the task as being in 2 stages (but as I'm not a buzzing vb.net person don't know if this is what's required) - stage 1: Make a negative image, so white stars on black BG. Stage 2:change all white pixels to red ones.

There are various suggestions on the Microsoft site:
Recoloring Images | Microsoft Docs[^]
The code samples tend to be in C#, but it should be fairly simple to convert them to VB.NET.

This have a question I've wondered about for several years.
Why does the .Net Framework compile to IL code, then later JIT to natative?
Why not just compile it directly to native code? Clearly there are advantages to having IL code.
I do understand there is now ".Net Native" which, if I understand it correctly, trans-compile to C++, then compiles to native.
I am just trying the understand the .Net framework better, not judging the design decisions.

There is no transpile to C++ code. The JITter converts IL code to native directly.
As to why .NET compiles to IL; the core of .NET is a machine agnostic framework so, while historically, the most common implementation was for PCs, there was no absolute requirement that it be constrained to PC. By using IL, you can port that onto a number of different platforms and have it JIT to IL for that platform. This is a common paradigm, favoured by languages such as Java.

You have both options available. Something you would have to "buy" in the past with some software (e.g. distributing EXE's versus "byte codes")
